Sounds like all the more reason to make a weapon out of it.
@eaglejarl is crying...waaait a second. Did we just manage to delay the Rampage v1 until @Velorien is the one writing it?

Or it could be an opportunity for characterization that Hazou isn't willing to risk people he cares about in pursuit of power?One other funny thing here is that once Jiraiya gets a moment to calm down and think things through, he'll start wondering how it is that Hazou hasn't immediately killed Noburi by trying to drain a summon right after Keiko got the scroll. And I kinda doubt he'll accept "It seemed like it could be dangerous" as an explanation, given what he knows of Hazou.
"Enough," Jiraiya said sharply. "Cat's out of the bad on that one, Gamarei.

"I think they might be surprised when they meet Hazama," A said dryly.
"Want to bet?" Jiraiya asked, leaning into the snideness that felt so right for this discussion. It would be lovely if he could distract the others onto less secret topics. "I've still got that lumber contract with your name on it. Sealmaster, Summoner, nigh-infinite chakra...your kids are fucked."

Oh god, think about how this conversation would end up going...Noburi has not tried draining any pangolins, for fear of weird bloodline/summoning interactions and/or damaging one of them sufficiently to disrupt their link to Keiko.
Once the first round's over... A is going to know that Hazama got knocked out in the first fifteen minutes of the event.
10 minutes. 5 to find them, 5 for the ambush, and 15 for cleanup.Once the first round's over... A is going to know that Hazama got knocked out in the first fifteen minutes of the event.![]()
"Oh, I'm sorry, A. Your team lasted two hours. So much better."10 minutes. 5 to find them, 5 for the ambush, and 15 for cleanup.
Of course, A is going to claim that his team lasted over 2 hours, since the exam technically started 2hr before we were allowed to leave![]()
Called it! I told you guys about optimizing the actions of someone who's not Hazō.

Troublesome.Shikaku: "I see ...." *thinks to himself* Noburi is the actual scientific genius, Hazou is the politcal mastermind and Keiko the social expert. Damn it, I got the wrong one!
Typo there.
She's not S rank in combat. That's also not her field of expertise.
Power projection reasons. I think Ren is a wholly competent kage, but it's in spite of her not being an S-ranker, not because of it.Why does a Kage need to be an S-ranker?
Look at Ren. She's a heroic diplomat who done more than anyone else to influence the geopolitical situation.
Traditionally to keep another S-ranker from murdering them and taking The Hat

Shikigami almost certainly would have.More like, to keep any ambitious elite jounin from having a decent shot at murdering them before help arrives.
No. He wasn't Jiraiya the Spy anymore; he couldn't cover this one up, kill anyone who knew, and then vanish into the night
Hmm...in an alternate universe:
